Nginx won't start, but config check doesn't show any errors?

Question

linux

Nginx 1.12.0, Linux RH 7.2
Installed, made a config - checking the config shows that everything is OK:
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/conf.d/ev1.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/conf .d/ev1.conf
test is
successful
See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
looking at logs:
Starting nginx - high performance web server...
nginx: [emerg] "events" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ev1.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/ nginx.conf test failed
nginx.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
I start it with the standard config - it starts without errors. I return a config - again errors. How to understand what is wrong with the config (the config test is fine).

Answer 1

"events" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ev1.conf:1

here he says.
checking nginx is done with the command:
nginx -t

Answer 2

check on behalf of the user under which nginx starts in systemd
, for example
sudo -u %user% nginx -t

Answer 3

Thanks everyone, the problem turned out to be that in the main config in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf there were sections that were duplicated in the config /etc/nginx/conf.d/ev1.conf
